Karen, thanks for your reply. I was doubting my decision to keep life simple and just go on Friday and miss the event. I know it would be nice, but keeping things simple and with less stress still tops my list! Thanks so much, ma
P.S. Just as an aside...as I type and look out my windows, an elegant blue heron stalks the fishermen next door who just got back from an all day fishing trip. I just love these birds. They are so "back in time" and incredible! Oh my, here come their sea gull friends....pelicans can't be far behind!
